I haven't personally used it, but it looks like you'll basically get a "mini" Ubuntu inside of Windows, including the ability to install Ubuntu packages using APT. Some stuff won't work, including GUI and low-level programs [1] [2].
It's made possible by the Windows Subsystem for Linux [3] compatibility layer.

I am looking for use case scenarios for Ubunu's bash shell on Windows 10.
I could be missing something, but just having the bash shell on Windows does very little to me (in my mind so far). I need tools to manipulate files. I also hope it can help me do away with (partly) putty/shellguard for SSH sessions to remote servers.
Anyway, lemme update and see what's in store.
